I’m so excited We received a cd of digital images from Jonty and Ashleigh wedding yesterday and I couldnt wait to open the parcel. Wade Howard flew in from Natal especially for the occasion and his pictures are stunning. Im sorry that I cant put them all up Check out his web-site on www.wadehoward.co.za.

Jonty and Ashleigh contacted me what seems like years ago from Australia. Theyd seen our web-site and were sold. Jonty even mentioned on the evening that our venue was the only one theyd actually visited in person. I didnt hear from them in ages as they were relocating back to South Africa and theyre both pediatricians with the Childrens Red Cross Hospital, so hardly surprising. When they finally managed to come up and do a recce of the venue we had the most amazing time together and I can now very proudly call them my friends.

The wedding itself was fantastic. Intimate personal and incredibly special. Besides the stunning flowers delicious food and great wine there were laughs and tears and hugs and kisses and all the wonderful emotions that weddings should be made of. It was a spectacular day and were so honoured that they shared it with us

I must add a note of how incredibly small this little world of ours is. After many chats Jonty and I discovered that we grew up together in the East Rand of Johannesburg – Benoni – a tiny town that Charlize made famous Benoni seems to produce fabulous people (as Ive mentioned previously on the diary page)
